age = int(input("Enter your age: "))

if age >= 18:
    print("You are an adult.")
else:
    print("You are a minor.")

Explanation

Line 4: age = int(input("Enter your age: ")) - input() returns a string type (str) containing user input - int() converts that string to an integer type (int) - age stores the integer value - If user enters non-numeric text, int() will raise a ValueError

Line 6: if age >= 18: - >= is the greater-than-or-equal comparison operator - Returns a boolean (True or False) - Checks if age is 18 or higher

Line 7: print("You are an adult.") - print() outputs text to stdout (terminal) - Only executes if the condition on line 6 is True

Line 8: else: - Executes when the if condition is False (age < 18) - Handles all cases not caught by the if block
